Not a weird question at all!

The pro tip I always give is to really lean on the "terrain" filter on Google maps when you consider where you want to live. Especially if you come from a mostly flat place, living and driving in the hills can be really difficult, especially when it snows. Also, a house/apartment may look awesome, and then you look on Google maps and discover that it's actually located on a cliff side or in a ravine.

If you plan on using public transportation a lot, do a little research into bus lines to see which places are connected in the way you need!

Oh that's a great tip! We haven't really lived anywhere very hilly. Thank you, I appreciate this!

Yea, definitely need an all wheel drive SUV type thing around here with aggressive tires. Take your car out off road or to a mall parking lot when there is a nice snow and do donuts and goof around in the snow. Gun it, cut the wheel, play in a safe place. Then when the day comes and you hit an icy patch on a steep curving hill. You will grin when you pull out of it!
